At 76 years of age and 55 years in the studio her semi-abstract paintings and works on paper of the Australian bush, interior/exterior scenes and still lifes are instantly recognisable. Imbued with lush texture and vibrant, rich colours, Elisabeth’s paintings can be found in many private and public collections. Her recent excursions to the Flinders Ranges, The Pilbara, Arnhem Land and The Larapinta Trail play a significant part in her forthcoming exhibition at King Street Gallery on William. The 2010 exhibition Paper Trail traces Elisabeth’s work in etching, monotype, Chine Colle and drawing over a period of thirty years.

  • ELISABETH CUMMINGS Interior Landscapes Curated by Sioux Garside
    ELISABETH CUMMINGS interior landscapes Curated by Sioux Garside 26 May – 23 July 2017 Born in 1934, in Brisbane Elisabeth Cummings was raised in a home filled with paintings and sculpture. Her parents regularly held an ‘open house’ for on Sunday evenings for American soldiers headquartered in Brisbane and also welcomed many Australian artists including David Strachan, Donald Friend, Margaret Olley & Roy Dalgarno. Her father, an architect and academic, was also a trustee at the Queensland Art Gallery. As a child she and her brother would attend Vida Lahey’s art classes held on Fridays. The family holidayed at Currumbin on the Gold Coast and in her final year of high school after tuition from Margaret Cilento she became determined to study art and, with her encouragement, decided to attend the National Art School in Sydney. She moved to Sydney and studied under Dorothy Thornhill, Godfrey Miller, Jimmy Cook and Ralph Balson between 1953-57. In 1958 she was awarded the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship which enabled her to travel to Europe where she lived in Italy, France and England where she was inspired by the work of Cézanne, Matisse and Vuillard. She also travelled to Salzburg and studied under Oskar Kokoschka at his School of Vision. After a decade of living in Europe, Elisabeth Cummings returned to Australia and settled in Sydney. She had missed the Australian bush and land and this now provided the stimulation for her work. She commenced teaching at the National Art School in 1969, instructing countless students there during her thirty year tenure as a lecturer and exhibiting regularly in Brisbane and Sydney.

  • Elisabeth Cummings and the Wedderburn Story
    Elisabeth Cummings and the Wedderburn Story 12/12/2014 This article was first published in South Coast Style Magazine at the end of 2013. With the opening of an important show of Elisabeth Cummings' work (curated by Max Dingle) this weekend at the Shoalhaven City Arts Centre in Nowra, it seemed a good time to share the story of her background with the Wedderburn property that has so influenced her life and work.... Down a winding bush track, on the edge of the south western Sydney suburbs, sits a 25 acre property that holds one of Australia’s most amazing art stories. There is no sign, no fanfare - just a rough road, some dry forest and a couple of post boxes to indicate that this is the place where the Wedderburn community of artists live. In total there are 5 studios here, currently housing a writer/poet, a street performer/web artist and 3 painters. And although these artists are all, in their own right, vital participants in the Australian art world, our story revolves around how they came to be here. To find the South Coast link, we’ll need to take a 3 hour trip from Wedderburn down to Bingie, the home of Nick and Barbara Romalis. Renowned for their energy and enthusiasm, Barb and Nick’s commitment to projects has always played a part in their local community. But for the tale of Wedderburn, we have to take them back to the start of the 1970s, when bell bottoms and hippy hairdos were all the rage - and when this story began.

Her father Robert Percy Cummings was an architect and teacher who founded the architectural department at the University of Queensland. Her mother Mavis was a teacher before she married. Elisabeth’s parents were active participants in the Brisbane art scene; Robert was a trustee at the Queensland Art Gallery in the 1950s. During the war years, the Cummings held open house on Sunday evenings for American Soldiers headquartered in Brisbane, and welcomed many visitors from North America, including numerous American artists and architects and the well known businessman, collector and philanthropist Edgar Kaufmann. Australian artists were also welcome: Donald Friend, Roy Dalgarno, David Strachan, Margaret Olley, Len and Kath Shillam were regularly in attendance. Robert and Mavis's friendship with Brian and Margery Johnstone of Johnstone Gallery, Brisbane in the 1950s and through into the 1970s contributed to the steady flow of artistic visitors.
